"While Lord Monckton is not a scientist per se, he is the third Viscount of Brenchley and he makes puzzles," Stewart said to laughter.

Climate scientists, on the other hand, are being taken very seriously by politicians, environmentalists, and businesspeople. For example, alternative energy producers can survive only thanks to government subsidies, regulation, and taxes on their competitors in the "non-alternative" energy sector. These government policies will be implemented only if the public is convinced that global warming is a man-made, serious problem.

So this should perhaps be another message: don't take yourself too seriously so that others won't take you too seriously either.
